Authentic Living and Self-Discovery

How to be a Human Being in the World with Dr. Kathleen Young

What happens when the pursuit of excellence turns every moment into a task? Life coach Chris Hale joins me to explore the cycle of constant busyness that traps so many high-achieving women. We discuss the societal pressures fueling this relentless productivity and question who truly benefits from it. Could the key to a fulfilling life lie not in the endless chase of achievements but in embracing genuine rest? For those with neurodivergent minds like ADHD, rest doesn’t have to mean doing nothing - it’s about finding activities that restore and rejuvenate, whether that’s solving a puzzle, taking a peaceful walk, or indulging in creative pursuits.  

Together, we highlight the importance of living authentically and following our unique paths, free from societal expectations. It’s about cherishing the present moment, discovering joy in simple pleasures, and redefining fulfillment on our terms. From turning casual activities into competitive missions to feeling overwhelmed by endless ideas, we challenge the norms and celebrate the art of slowing down. Let’s prioritize what resonates with our souls and craft a life that feels genuinely our own.
